Still amazes me that there are people who will pay other hobbyists to build their kits for them. I know it can be daunting to a total newcomer but it's so satisfying when you get it finished and you learn a lot, too. Still, let people do whatever makes them happy, I guess!

The DT-03 is a really good little chassis. A bit anachronistic of me but it's a chassis I think Tamiya should have made years ago. If a slipper could be engineered into it it would make a good beginning racer with a few hop ups. Looking forward to seeing your speed attempt.

@brianellison3525 2 года назад

I love my old Tamiya Blasters, I've got one with a 3 step mechanical speed controller with a Reedy 11 turn double I can run on 3s. it'll do about 60 mph if I gear it up. But no reverse. Wish more companies would sell rollers instead of RTR, I have a nice radio. And I wont ever use a stock charger. And the garbage batteries? No thank you. But still, if you want it the best it can be, you have to build it yourself. Love your channel, man. Hope you and yours are warm and happy. Be well and have fun.

The pistol grip transmitters aren't stupid at all. For surface applications controlling ist much faster and more responsive with these than with 2-stick radios. That's why the industry shifted towards them.

@alexhofstee466 2 года назад

Did you calibrate the Tamiya ESC? If the endpoints (full forward, neutral, full reverse) weren't set correctly it explains the speed difference. I have been dissapointed with the speed of an RC car after upgrading the motor/esc. When I arrived home all dissapointed I forgot to calibrate the ESC. Did that and that made quite the difference. The Arrma ESC looks like a Hobbywing 1060 which calibrates itself. I have a Carson Launcher 19x2T in my DT-03 (and DT-02). The TBLE-2S that came with mine can handle it just fine and it makes it a lot faster (the motor gets hot, not the ESC). A budget upgrade. :)
